The City of Macclenny accelerated its schedule for choosing a replacement for the late Tommy Johns, who died last month shortly after he was re-elected to a four-year term in the city commission’s Group 2 seat.

A Macclenny man was arrested in the early morning of December 12 for third-degree felony drug possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and third-degree felony driving while license suspended habitual offender when he was pulled over on a traffic stop at the corner of MLK Dr. and US 90 downtown.
